"This is bad. There's no other way to spin it for UCLA after a third consecutive loss during what was supposed to be the soft part of the schedule raised a frightening prospect: Will the Bruins win a game this season? They didn't look capable of beating a quality high school team after dropping a second consecutive game to a Mountain West Conference opponent."
"UCLA's 35-10 loss to New Mexico on Friday night at the Rose Bowl represented a possible new low after the Bruins once again looked lost on both sides of the ball. Fans started streaming out of the stands in earnest after New Mexico running back Damon Bankston turned a short pass into a 43-yard touchdown with just more than seven minutes left, breaking a couple of tackles along the way."
UCLA fell to 0-3 after a 35-10 loss to New Mexico at the Rose Bowl. The Bruins entered the game as 15.5-point favorites but were overmatched and failed to hold a lead all season. The team lost a second straight game to a Mountain West opponent and looked lost on offense and defense. Fans began leaving after New Mexico running back Damon Bankston scored on a 43-yard touchdown late in the game. Coach DeShaun Foster's record dropped to 5-10 early in his second season. The team added transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava but has not shown improvement. A bye precedes Big Ten play at Northwestern and will prompt evaluations.
